Yesterday I went for a walk and took these pics not two minutes from home. We are fortunate to live on the very northern outskirts of Sydney, with trees everywhere. It's dangerous in summer when bushfires are about, though.

To be honest, I completely forgot about doing the blog yesterday. Am obviously not back into routine.

Today I've been cleaning windows, washing up and generally tidying up. I cannot believe how dirty this place gets! You could clean up 24 hours a day and still it would be dirty.

It's a beautiful day and I've hung out three loads of washing. I always wash colours separately and do the teatowels by themselves.

The situation in Afghanistan is dire. It's hard to watch the news, what with climate change, covid, floods, fires, earthquakes, etc. I mostly watch YouTube for hours each day, and do online jigsaw puzzles for relaxation. 

Yesterday I wrote that Jewel is not a lap cat and blow me down if last night, she lay on my lap for hours! We were both in bed - she wouldn't do it if I was sitting up, but this is a start!

Covid numbers in NSW are heading towards 500, in spite of a state-wide lockdown.
